Launching soon
I've been working on Lux et Ars in my spare time since January this year, alongside my main 9-5. It's getting very close to launch the final pieces are falling into place!
The core platform is finished:
• curated AI artworks
• 3D Gallery
• full artist workflow
• certificate automation (hash, provenance, license)
• auctions with anti-sniping
• museum-grade print pipeline
• full Stripe Connect integration for payouts
• Collector friendly
Most of the remaining work is polishing:
small UI fixes, a final pass on the marketplace pages, and a few last touches on the first curated artworks going live. Some final security checks.
What feels so surreal:
I built and orchestrated this entire platform as a solo founder, heavily leveraging OpenAI’s models (o1, o3, GPT-4.1), Google Gemini and later Codex for designing, coding, branding, writing and shipping.
Endless sleepless nights. Even after working for four hours at night, I would still think about ideas or features that came to me when I was lying in bed. Really really hyperfocused.
No team, no agency. Just focus, persistence, and a ridiculous amount of late-night problem-solving.
I’m excited to open the doors soon. I know this market is really new and still very niche, but I believe in my vision.
Lux et Ars will start small, but every piece is crafted to scale with quality, not hype.
More updates coming shortly.
